Letting work know

random

I had a couple of Crises this past week, and in panic I emailed work to let them know I have aspergers and cant cope. They have asked to have a meeting to discus my problems and see if they can help. I am really dreading it, keep changing my mind on what I should let them know. My last job, I seeked help from them for anxiety and depression, they did help for a year, but was made redundant, and I am certain this was because of my problems.

  • I'm not surprised by anything you say. Simply being put in that position is stressful enough, but being asked 'instant' answers and trying to organise your thoughts is truly exhausting, so well done for going, well done for getting through with some outcomes, and I hope that it was a better experience than you were worried about it turning into.

    This all leaves you with the aftermath to deal with, of course, so I'm wondering if you're feeling that they've grasped the whole of the situation and given their word to be extra supportive?

    In that situation, I'd be likely to hear about 10% of what's being said and talked about, it would be all too much to deal with at once, and I'd settle for 'recording' the rest and then going home to go over it in my own time. I can never respond 'instantly' when I'm in what I see as a confrontational situation, and I wouldn't be able to see this in any other way!

    I'm sure it took everything out of you, just to go through the ordeal, so I hope you're in a good place right now to look after yourself.

    Well done
